How to help manta conservation
Now , more than ever , the Manta Trust needs your help . The Covid-19 pandemic has seen our fundraising hit hard . So much of our income is generated from people who are lucky enough to swim with manta rays while on holiday and of course this year , for most people , that has not been possible . As a result , we have seen a dip in our adoption requests and in the sign-ups for our member hub , The Cyclone .
Still , the need for funding continues if we are to protect manta rays and their habitats . That is where you can help . Please consider supporting us with one or more of the following :
■ A monthly donation via Cyclone ( mantatrust . org / the-cyclone ) from as little as £ 10 a month .
■ Consider a gift of a manta adoption ( just £ 25 from mantatrust . org / adopt-a-manta ).
■ Get active and do a sponsored event ( run , swim , cycle ) to fundraise for mantas ! mantatrust . org / get-active
■ Take a moment to sign up for Give as you Live and donations will be made to the Manta Trust each time you shop online , without costing you a penny extra . giveasyoulive . com / charity / mantatrust . If you work for a large company , ask whether they offer Matched Funding . Many larger firms give up to £ 500 per year , per employee , to an organisation of their choice .
If you can help in any way , either through funding or raising awareness of the Manta Trust , please get in touch with Lilian . dinan-jackson @ mantatrust . org . Let ’ s make 2021 a better year for manta rays .
